I use Alpha as a stand-in?lied to him!

The flight back home was scheduled at night, departed from Finland in the morning, flew thousands of kilometers into the sky, and arrived at the airport at four o'clock in the morning domestic time.

The club's PR manager had reminded him to go through the VIP channel, lest the media squat to take any inappropriate pictures. Xia Xingchen wore a hat and a mask, with a wide plain mirror covering his face, and a cotton jacket and hood over the peaked cap. The whole person was dressed in white, carrying his own peripheral bag, and followed Ye Xiao quietly, so obediently.

The original scheduled time to return to China was not this day, but the day after the finals. According to the usual practice in China, a celebration banquet should be prepared, and then the public relations department will arrange a thank-you banquet for fans. It's time to go back to the base to rest for a few days and then rush into training to meet the playoffs and transfer period next month.

But because of the changes on the field, the SQG team stayed in Finland for a few more days. Except for Xia Xingchen who didn't leave the room for two whole days, the others had a good time.

As for the criticisms and accusations that he needs to face after returning to China, it will naturally have to wait until he sees the media.

Anyway, they couldn't let Xia Xingchen bear all the conflicts and sharp arrows by himself, so it's better to have a good time while not thinking about it for the time being, after all, everyone is exhausted to the limit.

Qingtuan followed behind and lost his shape. He caught up with Xia Xingchen in two or three steps and threw himself on Xia Xingchen with his whole arm across his neck. He leaned against his neck and said with a smile, "Xingxing, You said go out from here, what will be waiting for us?"

Ahead is the elevator of the airport. Of course, they can use the VIP channel to avoid the fans and reporters waiting at the pick-up gate, but after getting off the elevator, there is a parking lot. The youth group has no doubt that as soon as the door is opened, there will be a flash of light that will hit them straight. face.

Ye Xiao turned his head and glanced at him, wanted to stare but then held back, hissed angrily, as if to say which pot of Qingtuan should not be opened and which pot should be lifted.

Xia Xingchen didn't care, Ye Xiao had been awkward ever since he went to his room to look for him that day.Obviously he didn't do anything wrong, but he just came to inform him and inform him of the news and the latest situation in a timely manner.He was kind, but he himself was in a state of indulgence and laziness at the time, and even the temper aroused by Jiang Shuo and the Alpha race showed up in front of Ye Xiao for a while, so he was unrestrained Speak words that hurt people.

He smiled, his eyes were hidden behind the lenses, and surrounded by bright tiles and bright incandescent lamps, he smiled as if there were thousands of miles of stars in the sky: "Eggs? Rotten tomatoes? Vegetable leaves? They can't be roses." Flowers, get ready."

The trophy has been replenished to SQG. The letter sent by the alliance to the team has not been deleted but has been removed from the top. The team's organizational adjustment to SQG has not yet been fully finalized, but rumors have spread.

They have been abroad for the past few days, and they vaguely know that neither the club nor Jiang Shuo seem to be particularly concerned about handling the public opinion this time.

Let it go, let the suspicious voices on the Internet intensify, and the hot search has been hanging up for several days. On the one hand, it is said that SQG is awesome and won the world championship, and on the other hand, it is said that Venus is arrogant and misbehaving, and has lost the face of the Chinese people on the world stage .

There is no need for SQG to issue a statement, there are already many people running to the official Weibo to ask them to give an explanation.

Xia Xingchen remembered the remarks he saw on the plane back home, and his smile deepened unconsciously, and there was not much sarcasm in it, he simply thought it was funny.

Then he realized that he might have thought a bit wrong just now, and Jiang Shuo probably didn't deal with it at all, otherwise, according to the current rumors and development trends on the Internet, the news he got the moment he set foot on the motherland should be the official announcement prohibiting He then competes in public events.

It's too easy to ask for a name: it's easy to mislead minors.

The more vigorous the development of e-sports, the more and more young people want to take this path. The country does not encourage or support it, and now Xia Xingchen is still making such a fuss in international competitions.

He is just a Beta, without any background, will not offend the Alpha family, and will not annoy the Omega Human Rights Organization Association, it is really the most convenient and quickest way to take him under the knife.

Everyone knows the truth of killing chickens to warn monkeys, Xia Xingchen will become that "chicken" if he is not careful.

In this way, the club and Jiang Shuo did their best for him.

On the premise of wanting to use him as an abandoned son, if he contributes to him, will Xia Xingchen be thanked for their great kindness later?

Xia Xingchen thought it was quite amusing.

The moment Jiang Shuo appeared in his room in Finland was too sudden, and the sex incident afterwards was too intense, so he didn't have time to analyze the cause and process of the whole thing.

But Ye Xiao said that Agares was taken away for investigation, and the secretary-general of the EPIC domestic branch brought an Omega doctor to Finland to help him deal with this matter.

And just the night before the matter was resolved, Jiang Shuo was in his room, lying on his bed, tied his wrists with a leather whip, bit his neck with his canine teeth, and asked him in a dangerous and low voice if he knew Where did I go wrong.

Xia Xingchen really didn't know it at the time, but as long as he softened and apologized, he would usually be able to escape.Then think about it again, Jiang Shuo asked him for a confession, probably not because the beating caused him trouble in the arena, but because he was playing an Alpha.

From Jiang Shuo's point of view, it was still an Alpha of a susceptibility period.

Xia Xingchen didn't know how Jiang Shuo could accurately know that Agares might be in a susceptible period despite being thousands of miles away, but he was the only one who could bring Secretary-General Wang and the doctor at the same time.

Perhaps it was some kind of intuition that only belonged to S-level Alphas. He sensed the threat and saw his plaything recklessly breaking into another Alpha's territory, so he traveled thousands of miles to teach him a lesson.

As for the obstruction of "help", trophies, and alliance inquiries, they are all just following the trend.

Even the removal of the captain, Xia Xingchen thought about it carefully, might have been a "lesson" given to him by Jiang Shuo.

It's not difficult to guess, it's not the first time Jiang Shuo has done this kind of thing.

There are too many opportunities to play games between alliances, and it is not uncommon for the two teams to have barbecues and drinks after the games.

Xia Xingchen can drink and smoke. He is not a heavy smoker, but people who stay up late always need some drugs or nicotine to refresh themselves.It's just that Jiang Shuo likes clean and fun little things, and he is also happy to pretend to be a cute and sensible little boy in front of him, so every time Xia Xingchen sees him, he always makes sure that he looks cute from head to toe.

It's like a student who hasn't left the campus, will hold a piece of sugar in his mouth, and will mischievously transfer the last bit of sugar on the tip of his tongue to Jiang Shuo's mouth when kissing, and then lick it in the kiss before the other party frowns, only to let him Feeling the sweetness, then obediently let him snatch his breath, enjoying the feeling of being in control.

But that time he completed two pentakills in one game, and was almost chased after he got off the field, so he had no choice but to invite all SQG to have a barbecue with the opposing team's players.It happened to coincide with his birthday, and he was given a lot of alcohol. When he returned to the base, it was already late at night. There were lights on the road. Only the youth training camp in the base was still lit, and a Porsche was parked by the roadside.

He saw it in Jiang Shuo's garage.

Jiang Shuo usually doesn't drive this kind of conspicuous sports car, if he does, he probably doesn't have a driver.

Xia Xingchen's face was flushed after drinking, it was summer again, he was wearing very little clothes, and he came back with his shoulders hooked on his back by Qingtuan, saying that he wanted to sober up. When he saw the car, he was stunned for a moment, and took the Get out your phone and call Jiang Shuo.

The window of the car was not closed, the bell came from inside the car, and was cut off after one ring, and the phone in his hand came with a mechanical busy tone.Xia Xingchen suddenly woke up from the alcohol, and immediately took off Qingtuan's arm and ran over there, lying in front of the car window and looking at Jiang Shuo panting, unable to tell whether he was panicked, surprised or puzzled, but he was still under the influence of alcohol. Driven to react instinctively, he smiled meekly at Jiang Shuo and asked him why he came here.

The inside of the car was very cold, the air conditioner should have been turned on for a long time, but the windows were only opened just now, there was a significant temperature difference with the outside, Xia Xingchen shivered from the cold.

Ye Xiao and the others called him at the gate of the base, Xia Xingchen turned his head and waved his hand to let them in first, and turned his head just in time to meet Jiang Shuo's indifferent eyes.

He saw Xia Xingchen's body from the gate of the base, scanned his bare arms and Adam's apple inch by inch, and finally met his eyes, and asked softly, "Have you been drinking?"

Xia Xingchen nodded obediently: "Ang."

"How much did you drink?"

He stretched out his fingers and broke them one by one, as if trying to think hard. Jiang Shuo waited patiently for him to finish counting. Xia Xingchen said, "5 bottles are all beer. I dare not drink white. Are you angry, brother?" ?”

In fact, he had woken up a long time ago, even if there was a little alcohol left, it would not be enough to affect his judgment and cognition, but he deliberately made this look of slow and serious thinking, wanting to see Jiang Shuo's reaction.

He felt that he had done something wrong, so he had to be good.

Be good even if you get delirious after drinking, so at least my brother won't be too angry.

And Jiang Shuo was really not angry, he just stared at Xia Xingchen quietly for a moment, and then called his name: "Xia Xingchen."

Jiang Shuo's voice is the most like his elder brother's. Every word he said close to his ear was enough to make Xia Xingchen tremble. At that time, he only heard this man sitting in the early summer night wind, low-key without any emotion or emotion. He called out to himself: "Let go, go back and rest."

This is definitely not considerate, but it can't tell whether he is angry or not, but Xia Xingchen knows that he is angry.

As a result, he suddenly remembered that he had just seen a bouquet of white roses in the co-pilot, and there was a cake in the back seat until the sports car drove away.

It must have been given to him, right?

They should be waiting for him here too, right?

He told Jiang Shuo that there would be his game tonight, but he didn't say it was his birthday, and when the league held the game, the host didn't cue any big names in the auditorium.

He left after the match, but Jiang Shuo didn't tell him that he would be waiting for him at the gate of the base.

But now it seems that he should be waiting here for him. After waiting for a long time, he didn't send a message asking where he was or when he would come back.

Xia Xingchen didn't know how many meetings and work he put off to spare this night, but to be honest, he was at a loss at that moment.

He and Jiang Shuo have known each other for four years, and they have been together for three years. In the first year, he knew exactly what he wanted, but when he became an adult, he sent himself to his bed without knowing what to do.Xia Xingchen wasn't originally planning on Jiang Shuo, so when Jiang Shuo asked him if he wanted a title, he thought it was unnecessary and not worth it.

No one in this relationship is worthy of the other party's sincerity. He knows that Jiang Shuo's mobile phone password is someone else's birthday, and he also knows that Jiang Shuo sees himself as just a little thing worth spending time playing with, and he sees him as a substitute. product, so whoever talks about status, responsibility, and future seems ridiculous and ridiculous.

But in that very short minute, Xia Xingchen suddenly couldn't find the shadow that had been hanging over Jiang Shuo all along.

That was the first time he looked at Jiang Shuo from the perspective of a "fake", and found that he couldn't see through him.

He didn't think too much about it, the short period of confusion was just the cognition interfered by the alcohol rushing into his head under the starry sky, Xia Xingchen didn't think about it for a long time, he went back to the base, took a shower and went to bed, and only when he woke up and remembered this matter did he feel a little flustered Come to mind.

He sent a message to Jiang Shuo and found that the other party had rejected the call, and he was blacklisted for calling. He called his assistant's cell phone, but the other party said: "Boss Jiang asked me to calculate the salary with you during this period. Xia, you can transfer the account with Mr. Xia next week. The bank card has already been sent to the base, and it will arrive in about half an hour. 300 per month. From New Year's Day last year to now, there are 170 months in total. Mr. Yijiang calculated an extra month for you. There is also a non-disclosure agreement sent along with you. After you sign it, you can get the money and the house .”

Xia Xingchen had just woken up from a hangover and his head was aching. Hearing this, he just thought it was ridiculous, so he asked him directly without suppressing his temper: "Is it worth the 13 salary for me? Ask Jiang Shuo if I need it based on my current annual salary." The money and the house, if you are angry, just talk about it, it’s not that I can’t coax him, don’t scare people like a child by breaking up the relationship.”

He didn't know how Jiang Shuo's assistant conveyed this sentence, but it probably didn't convey it verbatim, and probably turned the meaning around to make Jiang Shuo understand that he was going to apologize to him, So much so that when Xia Xingchen really packed himself up and went to dazzle people, Jiang Shuo didn't turn him away and didn't see anyone, he just let him sit on the sofa for a long time before raising his eyes and asking: " He Chenyang said that you are not satisfied with the conditions I gave, do you need to add anything else?"

He spent countless days and nights with Jiang Shuo, and when he heard his voice, he knew that he was not so angry anymore.So he got up and locked the door of the office, drew down the curtains under Jiang Shuo's gaze, walked to his desk with a smile, helped him put the documents aside, sat on his desk, and spread his palms with a smile Handing him a remote control, the voice of "buzzing" vibrated on the desktop along with Xia Xingchen's slightly unsteady tone: "Add a breakup. Cannon, right here, okay, brother?"

At that moment, he saw Jiang Shuo's sudden change of eyes and knew that he had succeeded.

It was probably after that time that Jiang Shuo liked to play tricks, binding, suffocating, floor-to-ceiling windows... To a certain extent, Xia Xingchen tricked himself.

And Jiang Shuo's anger didn't dissipate, he went to the gate of the base to wait for him without even saying hello, but he still blamed him for not being able to realize that he had gone back earlier.

Xia Xingchen thought he was angry at this, but later found out that Jiang Shuo simply thought it was inappropriate for him to stay out at night drinking with a group of Alphas.

After that, the youth group was targeted by the team manager for a long time. He was so scared that he didn't know what he did wrong and asked Xia Xingchen to hug him for warmth. It turned out that Xia Xingchen was targeted even worse.

What made Jiang Shuo angry was not that he waited for him for a long time, but that Xia Xingchen was hanging out with a group of Alphas in a place he couldn't see. Even if those people saw him as pure friendship and admiration, he instinctively disliked him. Natural expulsion consciousness.So even though he found out that the manager made things difficult for him because of his advice, Xia Xingchen never complained to him.

As for the birthday, flowers, and cake that night, neither of them mentioned it, as if it had never been there.

And the reality that Xia Xingchen saw from the phantom in just 1 minute, Xia Xingchen never let himself see it again.

The elevator went down to the underground parking lot, and the atmosphere in the space was a bit oppressive. Cheng Shen and Ye Xiao had already walked to the front inadvertently, Xia Xingchen came back to his senses and smiled, and stretched out his hand to pull them away: "At least I'm still the captain now. "

He stood in front and looked at the gap in the middle of the elevator door. On both sides were the faces reflected in the mirror, each of which was serious. No one would believe that they just won the championship three days ago.

"Ding--!"

The door opened slowly, Xia Xingchen raised his head, and sighed for the first time since the incident happened: "Sorry, I have troubled you."

All I could see were the dark, wet and seepage concrete floors divided by the load-bearing columns, the red taillights of the car, and the photo of Xia Xingchen's hat hitting Xia Xingchen with a "snap!" and then falling off.

Xia Xingchen knelt down and picked up the photo, only to find that it had been torn into three

Two were for the four people behind him, and the other was for himself.

Venus' face was painted black with a red cross, and the scarlet Chinese characters said "Get out!!!" The exclamation point was shocking, but Xia Xingchen didn't feel much trouble in his heart.

He stood up, looked up slowly, saw the camera light flashing non-stop, and heard someone asking him a question.

"Venus, have you won too many awards, so your mentality is drifting?"

"Venus, have you ever thought about the consequences of beating someone in the international arena, you are discrediting your own country, do you know that!?"

"Venus, what do you want to say to your teammates? Do you know how much your actions will affect the team? Don't you feel sorry for them!"

"Xia Xingchen, are you ready to take the blame and retire? What's the next step?"

The airport security personnel seemed to have just been notified and were running over from a distance. Xia Xingchen walked out of the elevator door, walked slowly and calmly to the pile of cameras, took off the glasses that were crooked due to being hit by the photos, and looked up. He stared straight at the last reporter who asked the question, with a smile in his eyes, and asked softly, "Did I win?"

"Did I give away my head and lose the match, or did I take dirty money to make a fake match? Why did I retire?" Xia Xingchen reached out, checked his press card and glanced at it, his voice was soft and polite: "I have no objection to your interview. Me, but this reporter, please use your brain and think about logic before asking questions, otherwise it will waste time."

He raised his hand, pointed to the distance, and said with a smile, "Look, someone is coming to arrest you."
